She loves her cubs.
She drove too slow while on the way to Durham to drop Melanie off at college. Then, the next day, she drove too fast while heading back to Rochester to see Jeff for the first time in 7 months. She wanted to be consoled by Corinne in each direction.

Simulation: The gripping ride home to see Jeff. (Actually we were on our way to dinner in Henrietta)
She has some Griz in her. It’s a safe kind of Griz. If I get between her and her cub I can be assured of a bear hug.
